It sounds like it comes from the front end, possibly tires because it goes faster when I speed up.
But sometimes it doesnt do it at all.

There are a number of problems that you could have! Some are serious, some just annoying! So here are some!
Could be bad tire (damaged casing), it may also do the "hula" at some low speed, (since the tire is shifting from side to side to some extent because of displacement of casing).***** Tire out of balance will give you a lot of "tramping, - or bouncing at around 55-65 mph on some cars!****Could also be "hotspots" on brake disks - noticeable to some extent when you put pedal down hard, - gives pulsating feeling on brake pedal (be aware that "abs brakes" do this normally though)! Also if you "tap" the pedal quickly, the noise may go away! This re-locates the brake caliper somewhat, and may make it stop dragging! **** Have you had any tires changed lately? It is possible that you may have loose wheel lugnuts (in 50+ years, I have seen a lot more than I like to think about!) It doesn't take long to pull off hubcaps and check to see if nuts are tight with a tire iron! **** You could also have a bad wheel bearing "coming on"! It may bind (or make grinding) noise as the wheel turns.**** It is possible that you have a "dry" CV joint (constant velocity joint, - there are two on each drive axle)! You can look underneath car on both sides and check this out by looking for a lot of grease spread around in area where the ends of axles run, -- the boots can get leaks and sling all the grease out on ground (and everyuthing in general area)! If the axles run "dry enough" for a long period of time the CV joint gets ruined, and will eventeually make similar noise, especially when cornering, -- and if bad enough will "tug" on steering wheel when making sharp turns at low speed!
Since speed of noise changes with speed of vehicle, it is most likey related to drive axles and components between there and the "ground contact"! Any mechanic worth a "pinch of salt" should be able to drive it around the block and tell you what is wrong pretty fast! At least whether it is serious or not!

Sounds like a wheel bearing as they make a wuh wuh wuh noise but it could also be many other things depending on the amount of wuhing that's occurring if it was mooing (like mooo moooo) then that would be an easier one to diagnose!!

If you've hit a kerb it could be tyre or wheel bearing damage. If so also need to check the wheel alignment

Have he tire checked first. If not them then have the motor mounts check for secure attachment. Then last check the CV joints. Most likely the tires.

Sounds like a bubble in tire....but if it stops sometimes...could be the rubber boot on CV joint.
